Callum Wilson has revealed he has nothing but respect for Eddie Howe's decision making process at Newcastle United - even if it did potentially cost him his first Toon hat-trick against West Ham.
Wilson's number came up on 64 minutes with the West Ham in defensive disarray and the number 9 clearly in the mood to cause more damage to David Moyes' relegation-haunted Hammers. The striker had been sidelined in recent games with illness but has now scored two in two against Manchester United then West Ham.
With the clash against Brentford starting to come into Howe's mind with an hour on the clock at the London Stadium and that resulted in Wilson, Allan Saint-Maximin and Jacob Murphy all being withdrawn for a breather. The emphasis on the "squad game" at Newcastle this season could not be greater.
